- looks great, and is easy to fly
- Retractable landing legs
- Collision shield effects
- Lights on/off using chat commands
- Adjustable pilot seat
- Pilot canopy opens/closes

Flying the “Saucer UFO” Tech Vehicle.
Touch the craft or right-click the pilot seat and select "pilot". When you sit in the seat, the headlights will switch themselves on.

Landing Legs
You can raise or lower the Landing Legs at any time. Just say LEGS UP or DOWN. The Saucer had a built-in gyro stabilizer so it won't tip over even if you retract the legs after landing.

Once you're seated, the anti-gravity motors will start up and the vehicle will hover gently. Now, you can move by using the forward/backward arrow keys to adjust the speed, use the left/right turn arrow keys to bank and steer, and use the PgUp and PgDn keys to climb and descend. Once you're moving, you'll see jets streaming out at the back. You can continue to fly as long as you keep your finger on the forward arrow and you can even steer as you accelerate.
To move sideways, hold the Ctrl key down as you use the left/right arrow keys. You can carry out some nifty sideways-sliding "drift" moves once you've got the hang of it.

Collision Shield
The Saucer UFO is surrounded by an automatic impact shield. If you collide with any physical object while you’re flying, the shield will flash as you bounce off.

Cockpit canopy
You can operate the pilot’s canopy any time by typing OPEN or CLOSE SAUCER in chat. It’ll open automatically when you disembark.

Adjustable seats
You can adjust the position of the pilot pose for whatever size avatar you use. Once you are seated, type "/1 menu" and an adjustment menu will appear, with buttons for nudging the pose up/down and forwards/backwards. Once it's adjusted for your avi, your vehicle will remember your settings if take it back into your inventory and re-rezz it.

Headlights.
The headlight comes on when you get in the pilot seat and off when you get out. You can also control the lights anytime by typing SAUCER LIGHTS ON or OFF in chat.

Landing.
You can use the PageDown key to descend. Remember to lower the legs. Once you've landed, just stand up and the lights switch off. When parked, the vehicle will normally place itself into a slight hovering position just above the ground, but you can still lower the landing legs after you've landed because it looks good.

Parking.
If you stand up while you’re still flying, the vehicle will turn off any forward motion, lock its geostationary position and the canopy will open. Therefore, you can park next to a high landing platform or the top of a docking column by hopping out of your pilot's seat when you're in position. It's then safe leave the vehicle. Don’t forget to close the canopy with CLOSE SAUCER as you leave.

Security.
The vehicle is DNA-locked, a security feature that allows only the owner to fly it. You won't have any worries of someone else flying off with it after you've parked it. However, if you set the vehicle description from “private” to “public”, take it into your inventory and re-rezz it, then anyone can fly that version and it will de-rezz when they get out, so they can't abandon it. If the saucer AI detects it has been set to public, the color band around the saucer will automatically turn from green to blue.
